Healthy PlanEat
Rosemary Ostfeld, Ph.D.

Healthy PlanEat is an online farmers market which exists to increase access to healthy and environmentally sustainable food. It includes over 30 environmentally sustainable local farms and food artisans around Connecticut that you can shop for fresh food directly from.

Its founder, Rosemary Ostfeld, Ph.D., grew up in East Lyme, Connecticut, and studied sustainable agriculture at Cambridge University in England where she was a Cambridge Trust Scholar. She returned home and launched Healthy PlanEat because she believes it is important for people to be able to purchase directly from local, environmentally sustainable farms and food artisans.

You can shop and either pick up in-person or have food shipped to your home. The Healthy PlanEat sustainable shipping program was one of the World Wildlife Fund’s Conservation Highlights of 2022. It is a convenient way to receive fresh and delicious local vegetables to your door.

Healthy PlanEat also has a fresh new podcast called Food For You and the Planet on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. The podcast has featured guests from the Rodale Institute, Regenerative Organic Alliance, Compassion in World Farming, Demeter USA and other organizations.
